McDonalds Arch Cards & Upromise Savings

[MrsPinecone]

Purchase an Arch Card at your local McDonald's.

Register it in your Upromise account within 30 days of purchase. You'll earn 1% college savings on the original purchase value.*

Keep the card in your wallet and registered with Upromise. Plus, earn 1% college savings every time you reload the card with additional value.

Mrs. P,
What is an Arch Card? Is it a gift card?

TIA!

[MrsPinecone]

Yes. They replaced the paper gift certificates.

Stinks that you have to register it before you use it lol! It would be so much simpler to just use the upromise CC to purchase the arch card and then turn around and purchase your meal with the arch card........ah, but life can't be that simple lol!

[MrsPinecone]

I don't see where you can't use it right away??? You just need to register it w/in 30 days.

Are these the kind of cards they're sending out with the Post-it deal? If so, you could register the free cards on your Upromise account and get the 1% when you reload, right?

I use the arch card and get credit for it when I buy it. I just register it when I get home. It is reusable too. I keep one in my wallet for when the kids want to go. When it gets low, I put more money on it rather than just using cash, which doesn't go into the upromise account.
